This. This is what I find most upsetting on this thread. It's not the conversation about when it's the right time to euthanize, if this is the right time, etc. It's the bone chillingly cold way that OP talks about this creature who has lived with her for 13 years - longer than her husband, longer than her kids.

I don't know if she's maintaining some ironic distance to keep herself from feeling this loss too deeply. Maybe. Maybe she's just a dry person. I don't know. I hope that it's one of these explanations.

Yes, is anyone giving this cat love and attention in this house?  Cuddling with him/her?  Playing with him/her? :(  Is this cat just wandering around a loveless household where everyone is annoyed by it and waiting for it to die?  :(

(This is not a simply rhetorical question:  spending time with your cat, playing with him/her, brushing him/her, talking to him/her, etc. . .all are ways to de-stress the animal.)[/quote]
